Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

Make your slow cooker preparation even faster. Shape the meatballs and cut-up vegetables the night before. Refrigerate until ready to add to the slow cooker. Top with spaghetti sauce and cook as directed.

Cooking Know-How

Every time you lift the lid of your slow cooker, precious heat is lost. So, keep the lid on and resist the urge to peek!

I agree with previous reviews that it needed more sauce. I added water and some cream to juice it up a bit. Also added oregano, basil, and garlic powder to the sauce. Next time I would add some seasoned salt to the meatballs, and maybe more spices.

This was okay, but I feel like it tasted a bit too close to meatloaf. Definitely added at least one more c of sauce, otherwise not enough for the entire pound of spaghetti.

I thought these turned out to taste wonderful. I also had some problem though keeping the meatballs together. It kind of ended up being more of a meaty spagetti sauce. But it did taste good.

I loved this recipe because it was so easy. I just bought a slow cooker and had no idea how great they were, thanks for the recipes using my slow cooker.

Wasn't a very big fan of this. Like other raters mentioned, it needs more seasoning or something...it was pretty bland.

The meatballs needed more seasoning. The name spicy meatballs is not a good name for this dish.

Tastes great. Like previous comments meatballs did get mushy around the edges, firm in the middle - prefer a firmer meatball along with spaghetti, but these would be great for meatball subs. I didn't stir them, and used a measuring cup to scoop out the grease that was at the top. When I make again I will pre-cook them, and use more sauce for the spaghetti.
